I think I quite clearly emphasized it...

no, what you quite clearly emphasized was when i said that your prose explained at length what I had wrote in my 3rd sentence. What I haven't said at any point, anywhere, is that you acknowledged, pointed out or specifically referenced said sentence. my point was that it appeared you missed the sentence completely, given that you felt the need to inform me about the concept of advertising. if i am, therefore, pointing out that we both said the same thing in different ways, and that you appear to have missed where I said it, hence your post in the first place, then why would I also say that you have specifically referenced the sentence in question? i didnt---I hear and I forget.

The entire thing says that I was acknowledging your 3rd sentence...Jesus, you don't even know what you're typing out.

im sorry but the lack of understanding here is yours

What you did there was explain in further detail my 3rd sentence whilst under the impression that I had not said that at all.

where does that say that you are acknowledging it? is it right after i specifically say that you seem to have completely missed it? how can you acknowledge something you have missed?---I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.Confucius

i think you are all reading too much into the adverts. adverts arent meant to speak to those that already have the product. it is to entice those that dont to purchase. and most of these potential customers will have little to no knowledge of what it is that you think these adverts are purveying

I don't have the product yet.

I'm surprised the ads haven't been parodied yet. All one needs to do is place some defeatist speech over the video. I guess Sony fans only work in gif format.

I would put Bill Murray from Meatballs. It doesn't matter if we lose or if we win. It just doesn't matter.

presumably your point being that you know the potential subtext and what has gone on over the past year or so

but, like i said, "most". the people that know about all this are very very much in the minority---I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.Confucius
